Because his wife is a liberal and told him not to.

A local church used to send teams each year to Piedras Negras, across the border from Eagle Pass to build homes.

The stopped doing it 2 years ago due to security.

Jeez..South Koreans sleep tight on their border with the Norks...thanks to American Cash, Fences and GI’s. Why can’t Texans, New Mexicans and Arizonans?

Totally, 100% insane, isn't it?

[jazusamo]

Seems like a very wise thing they did in ending it. American’s who go into Mexico for any reason now are nuts, IMO.

The government of the nation of South Korea wants to protect it citizens.

The government of the nation of The United States does not.

Our family has had a hunting lease in the Eagle Pass/Laredo area for over 40 years. We just moved it north.

"that not “a mile” of the 85-mile stretch of border in Maverick County, Texas...is secure and that the violence of Mexican drug cartels is spilling over into the United States as cartels come into Texas and kidnap teenagers for their smuggling operations"

Assuming this is true, it is CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE on the part of TOTUS, Holder, Napolitano, etc.

I think it’s pretty safe to say it’s true when a County Sheriff and a Police Chief say it publicly and you’re right, it is criminal negligence.

Without a doubt and 3/4 of American KNOW IT!

Fox News Poll: 72 percent say government not enforcing immigration laws

July 29, 2010 Most American voters believe the federal government is failing to enforce the country's immigration laws, according to a Fox News poll released Thursday. In addition, voters are more likely to favor than oppose Arizona's new immigration law that was in large part blocked by a federal judge this week.

Why aren’t citizens along the border taking care of the problem?

Ping!

Drug money has bought look-the-other-way Border Enforcement. At this point there really is no border, so in a weird way, Big Sis is right. What she rules over is a porous 200 mile wide
Zona de Tolerancia within which everything is for sale, every rule is enforced with a gang death penalty, and there is no effective government. Cold comfort to us that it may be worse on the south side.

We need one Governor to exercise her (HINT) right to defend the border of her state with military force and an effective patrollable barrier, which is her right and the right of those American citizen she represents.

The Government of Mexico is FUBAR in this region, No need for us to let that contagion spread any farther than it already has. States must use their constitutional right to protect their citizens.

If they wouldn’t associate with people these kids know for a fact are involved with the drug cartels they wouldn’t get kidnapped. They do it because they want to be cool. Poor choices for wanting to be cool. It’s not like they’re dragging ‘em back across the river. They are involved with the wrong people, the parents allow it and then they act they’re a victim.

With a great many families in South Texas, the river is just something they have to cross to go see family. Everyone down there knows who’s involved with the cartels. The parents might not know who they’re hanging out with and there is a certain culture that allows such behavior starting around age 10 and goes downhill from there.

They may be US citizens, but they are not victims. They know full well who they’re hanging out with.

“Initially that makes total sense but then why did Bush do next to nothing about border security either?”

We were asking ourselves that in southern California all during Jorge Arbusto’s illegal alien-loving regime.

‘Treason, it’s not just for Democrats anymore.’

I'd be interested in the sharks opinions of what the sheriff can do, *legally* speaking...yer previous analysis of the possibilities for the governors to force the feds hand with a militia unit, could that be applied locally in the form of deputizing an army to force state and fed response ???

i know that sheriff joe has been deputizin alot of Arizonans, surely texas could muster some firepower too ???

[Gilbo_3]

Why aren’t citizens along the border taking care of the problem?

ATF bought up and sent all the *assault weapons* south ???

seriously, when you must fear prosecution by your own gubmint if you assemble *enuff* firepower to win the war, it makes ya a lil gunshy [pun unfortunate]...

[Cindy]

Thank you SwinneySwitch for today’s pings.

[jazusamo]

I’m under the impression that County Sheriff’s in all states are able to deputize like Sheriff Joe but don’t know that for a fact.
